Can anyone explain how the XOR of the Mechanical-Fluid Gates work?

* Sure. It assumes the pump is powered by a windmill on a map with strong wind (40 power). If neither input is on, the power is only transfered to the southeast gear assembly (total of 10 power consumed). If only the yellow gear assembly is connected (considered to be a logic high), then every gear assembly but the green input is powered (30 power in gear assys, 10 power for the pump). If only the green assembly is connected, the yellow assy and the white one to the north are both disconnected (25 power in gear assys, 10 for the pump). But if both assys are connected, the entire thing requires 45 power to work, and nothing turns. Easily modifiable with a huge number of gears for water wheel power. I believe a windmill farm would be necessary on a map with 20 or 10 wind. -[[User:Arrkhal|Arrkhal]] 20:27, 12 October 2009 (UTC) | * Sure.
